It is indeed the season to be jolly and why not? Christmas always conjures up images that bring unparalleled warmth to the heart. The aromas of a good Sunday roast wafting through the air, waiting to be savoured with a full-bodied red wine and finished off with that perfect cigar! Few things can make a man happier. That's why I've put together a list of the best cigars to gift this season. These cigars are so good, I've got a sneaky suspicion you'll have trouble giving them away!
Speaking of Christmas gifts, this one certainly does look the part, ribbon and everything. The Grand Epicure is Hoyo de Monterrey's last offering. With notes of cinnamon, cocoa and dry-fruits, who needs Rum cake, right? You can shop it here - http://www.cigarclubindia.com/hoyo-de-monterrey
One of Sir Winston Churchill's great predilections, so much so he became synonymous with these cigars! Their multitude of flavours have a quintessentially Christmas-y quality to them. Vanilla, tropical fruit, wood, cocoa, nuts, herbs and flowers...you almost have the garden of Eden rolled into a cigar right there!
1. Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve Torpedo Maduro
The well-aged tobacco of Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve is a perfect complement to the natural sweetness of fortified wines like Port and Sherry, so ubiquitous this time of year. The earthy flavour with hints of coffee also make this cigar a great after-meal smoke!
With genuine cigars being hard to find in India, I buy them online at www.cigarclubindia.com They have a reputation of selling cigars that are in perfect condition for smoking, a great range and their standards of service are simply unmatched.
2. Partagas Serie D No. 4 Tubes
It has been said that if you like Partagas' style, this is one of the best Robustos available in the market. Paired with a rich Shiraz or even a great single-malt, the woody, spicy notes of this cigar will be reminiscent of the slow-cooked lamb you might've relished just hours ago!
The creamy, sweet aroma of the Davidoff Special R might lure you to give dessert a miss this Christmas. After all, it is better on the waistline! This robust flavoured cigar comes in signature Davidoff white tubes, making it a favourite among the ladies too. Best paired with a white rum or a rosé to bring out the subtleties of the cigar.
3. Davidoff Tubo Special R
4. Hoyo De Monterrey Grand Epicure No. 2
Speaking of Christmas gifts, this one certainly does look the part, ribbon and everything. The Grand Epicure is Hoyo de Monterrey's last offering. With notes of cinnamon, cocoa and dry-fruits, who needs Rum cake, right? You can shop it here - http://www.cigarclubindia.com/hoyo-de-monterrey
5. Playboy Robusto
While Hugh Hefner smoked a pipe for most of his life, the Playboy Robusto cigars are sure to bring a dash excitement to your life. Handmade with a blend of the finest Nicaraguan aged tobacco and packaged stylishly with the signature Playboy bunny logo on the box, it has all the makings of a great conversation-starter! Bold and spicy flavours if that's the sort of Christmas you'd like.
6. Romeo Y Julieta Churchills

7. Don Diego Monarch
And finally, a cigar that doesn't break the bank! The Don Diego Monarch is probably one of the mildest cigars you'll ever find. However, its smooth connecticut wrapper and creamy texture make it a great gift for the first-timer as well as the seasoned cigar smoker. Here's to a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
